I apologize for skipping a couple of posts, just didn't feel like posting. In fact I am heading out of town next week and will skip a few more as well. With that said I had went to Gainesville (Home of the Gators) last week and stopped in to one of the two Meely Pops card shops. I really don't go that often once twice a year as there really isn't the kind of deals that get my blood pumping. That isn't to say I don't buy anything. I do like lending a hand to LCS brick & mortar shops. This trip I spent a whopping $20.00. I broke the handful of cards into 3 groups and will post as such this week. No high end cards here obviously. I pulled a dozen dime cards and the rest came out of the .50 boxes which are the predominant selection of singles in this store.
That is the Braves Topps brand cards that I picked up. Now let's see how many of them I actually needed.
1993 Topps: I needed all of them which is awesome as I did have several already. Those were the dime cards that I bought (11 of them anyway). I still need roughly half of the Braves team.
2010 Topps Chrome refractors: I needed the Hicks.
2012 Topps Update Gold Sparkle: nope....didn't need it.
2012 Topps Chrome purple. nope again.
2023 Topps Chrome Pink: nope (now I can use them though maybe (the Olson PC and possibly the Pink collection).
2023 Topps Chrome Sepia: needed the Albies.
End result of the above definitely 13/20 were Braves team set needs and 1 possible PC need and 1 maybe 2 mini collection needs. So 15 of the 20 cards shown tonight fall into the PLUS column and 5 straight to the dupes boxes.
Have a great night. tomorrow I'll bring on the rest of the Braves.
Meely Pops sounds like a really gross candy.
ReplyDeleteI do that all the time. Go to a card store, see some cards I like, buy them and when I get home I've already got the cards. I've got enough different collections in the works that it's hard to remember what I have and don't have.
